    Feedback Requestors

    Please use the following format

    URL:

    Technologies Used:

    Feedback Requested: (e.g. general, usability, code review, or specific element)

    Comments:

    Post your site along with your stack and technologies used and receive feedback from the community. Please refrain from just posting a link and instead give us a bit of a background about your creation.

    Feel free to request general feedback or specify feedback in a certain area like user experience, usability, design, or code review.

    Feedback Providers

    • Please post constructive feedback. Simply saying, "That's good" or "That's bad" is useless feedback. Explain why.
    • Consider providing concrete feedback about the problem rather than the solution. Saying, "get rid of red buttons" doesn't explain the problem. Saying "your site's success message being red makes me think it's an error" provides the problem. From there, suggest solutions.
    • Be specific. Vague feedback rarely helps.
    • Again, focus on why.
    • Always be respectful

    I just asked 23,000 developers what they think of JavaScript. Here’s what I learned.

    jsBlog - A static blog framework powered by JS

    Posted: 29 Dec 2017 08:09 AM PST

    Hi everyone,

    First up, please tell me if I'm posting this wrong, from what I can gather, it's ok.

    link

    I have created this little framework of sorts, to aid me with a senior school project I'm doing over the next year. I got bit by a coding bug and decided to push myself a little further, and make it more flexible and usable.

    This tool converts markdown files into a blog-like structure, with a list of posts that can be scrolled through and read as needed.

    The advantage with it is that it doesn't require any backend processing to update it's content (no nodejs or php ect), so it can run on static websites, including GitHub Pages (what I initially had in mind).

    Now I can run my own blog for school without having to dish out any money.

    It has been a quite interesting process thus far. I've had to get my head around RegularExpressions (I regret not doing it earlier now) and also markdown, along with some battles with git (due to my incompetence).

    At the end of the day, I hope someone other than me can get some use out of this. If anyone is feeling a bit bored or anything, I would love some pull requests.

    Thanks

    Pull data from various APIs. Put in DB. Make charts. Best way to accomplish this?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2017 07:47 AM PST

    As the title says. I'm sort of new to programming/webdev but am looking for the simplest way to pull data from various apis (probably just price tickers) and store them in a DB. The data would be json but I'm open to storing it any which way.

    From there, take the data and make charts with something like highcharts or whatever.

    What would be the simplest platform(s) to accomplish the above?

    Any input is appreciated.

    Getting a job with an AA

    Posted: 29 Dec 2017 11:22 AM PST

    I was wondering if you all had some advice as to me getting a job as a front end or full stack web developer with an Associate of Arts with a web development diploma from my community college.

    A bit about me: I'll be graduating with a web dev diploma alongside my associates at the end of the spring semester. About a year ago I took four months and learned JavaScript, Python and git on codecademy so that I could start making a game using the unity engine with some family members who also program. After doing Unity tutorials I dove into the game production and started writing code in C#. The game is currently on a back burner but is functioning in a very early Alpha state.

    My portfolio consists of a dog sitting site that's functional and looks nice, three different functioning WordPress websites, and a single page using a bootstrap theme. I will be making a website for my hair stylist over the next month that I will be being paid for, small but still added into my portfolio.

    Does anybody have any advice as to how I can get myself out there and show people that I know what I'm doing? I'm working on learning react and have started looking into Ajax and jQuery to and get a little bit of diversity with what I know. Some people currently working in the industry say potentially pursuing a Bachelor's of computer science would be a more cookie cutter route to get myself a job but I could potentially find a job to get experience to then get a better job, but that route is tougher since I only have an Associates from a community college.

    Thanks Reddit for reading if you made it this far

    From Bootstrap to CSS Grid

    Posted: 29 Dec 2017 12:26 PM PST

    Just finished the front end part of colt steele’s bootcamp. Should I start building websites and then start applying for jobs?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2017 04:03 PM PST

    I'm only interested in front end junior dev positions as I want to get my foot in asap. I feel like I have a good beginners grasp of html css js. Its either that or finish freecodecamp and get the front end web certificate and start building a projects for a portfolio after that. Or I can try to learn go/elixir and try to find niche jobs that way. Which pathway would you choose?

    How can I achieve doing this with a free service

    Posted: 29 Dec 2017 03:14 PM PST

    I'm building a website which has a functionality I want to implement which is there in many web scraping pricing bots and I'm wondering how I should go about that.

    So basically I'm pulling data from this API that gets updated every minute/hour, and I want the ability for people to put in which item their looking for, a certain threshold, and once it's reached, they get an e-mail saying it's been reached.

    I can get the whole thing working but it only works if the user actually has the page open. How can I make it so that the user can set it all up, close all the tabs, and go on with their day and it will still keep checking/running.

    I think I know how I can implement this which brings me to my next question. I'm going to be using the heroku free plan and it goes to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity, so this would stop regardless of what I do right? Does anyone have any other ideas? This is more of a personal/show off project to add to my portfolio than an actual production project so I'm not really willing to spend too much money.

    Thanks for the help guys!

    Why a contact form might not work?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2017 03:11 PM PST

    Hello,

    Setting up my first website and I can't seem to get the contact form to work. I don't write PHP and did strip it from the Bootstrap freelancer theme (it is the theme I chose for my website). Anyway, I was wondering if there were general reasons why my website wouldn't connect?

    For reference, I am using Bluehost. I can post the code below if need be. Any suggestions help. I was going to contact bluehost about it.

    edit:

    <?php // Check for empty fields if(empty($_POST['name']) || empty($_POST['email']) || empty($_POST['phone']) || empty($_POST['message']) || !filter_var($_POST['email'],FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { echo "No arguments Provided!"; return false; } $name = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['name'])); $email_address = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['email'])); $phone = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['phone'])); $message = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['message'])); // Create the email and send the message $to = 'yourname@yourdomain.com'; // Add your email address inbetween the '' replacing yourname@yourdomain.com - This is where the form will send a message to. $email_subject = "Website Contact Form: $name"; $email_body = "You have received a new message from your website contact form.\n\n"."Here are the details:\n\nName: $name\n\nEmail: $email_address\n\nPhone: $phone\n\nMessage:\n$message"; $headers = "From: noreply@yourdomain.com\n"; // This is the email address the generated message will be from. We recommend using something like noreply@yourdomain.com. $headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address"; mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers); return true; ?>

    Obviously I understand that I need to put the email address in the appropriate places. The original creator of the theme said the form might not work with some hosting sites though. I guess that's my original question which is should this code work and if so, why might it not work on mine. For the record the message doesn't go through at all. Just spits the error message out.

    Also while I am here, if you guys could just let me know how long it takes to see any changes I make on the server to go live? I assume I can't just push new stuff constantly to Bluehost and it will just be up if I reload the site correct?

    Job dress code?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2017 09:02 PM PST

    Figured I'd ask a non technical related question for once. What is your dress code like at your job? I've heard that tech jobs usually have "relaxed" dress code, but I want to hear from the people actually working at those jobs.

    *Question* Why is my UK Domain automatically refreshing endlessly?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2017 02:24 PM PST

    Basically, any time you land on my website from a UK IP Address - the website will endlessly refresh. I can not figure out how to fix the issue. If anyone would like to look - the website is electricstyles.co.uk. If you're not in the UK, you would need a VPN to access it. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? What could be causing this? Thanks!

    Simple calendar/availability booking checker, best way to go about this?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2017 02:13 PM PST

    I'm building a simple booking system for a holiday property that will allow users to select dates and follow through to payment. I've got the payment side down using Stripe elements and I'm calculating the total cost using two calendar form inputs which using JavaScript have "per night" costs allocated to them. see (https://peydanegite.com/bookings/)

    This issue I'm having is allowing the property owner to block out certain dates (that have already been booked on other sites such as AirBnB) and displaying this to the user.

    What would be the easiest way to display a calendar with blocked out dates that the owner could easily add to? Would I be able to pull a google calendar data and push that to a form date so the user can see what dates are already booked? Or would I have to us something like JQuery datepicker?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciate as I'm still fairly junior and this is a little out of my comfort zone.

    Thanks :-)

    Does anyone have experience with the YieldKit link affiliation platform?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2017 02:10 PM PST

    I'm very new to this and have been running a small website (no templates) for about a year. 6 months in, I started using YieldKit to monetise my outward links and managed to generate a few hundred euros in the past couple of months. The transactions have been shown confirmed but YieldKit is refusing to payout the sums. Have I been scammed?

    They claim to make payouts on the 3rd of every month but for one reason or another, I have given them the benefit of the doubt every time a payment wasn't made. The first time was in October where I was told sums weren't confirmed. In November, I was told the shown confirmed value was not equal to the verified amount. In December I was told of system problems and told to expect payment in January.

    In the meantime, I have disconnected from them.

    I understand this isn't strictly related to web dev but I don't know where else to turn. Any insight is much appreciated.

    Can anyone offer advice on how to merge a static site and one created using flask?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2017 09:19 AM PST

    Hi, I'm learning Webdev as a hobby.

    I've created two separate sites however I intend to merge them together, I'm not completely sure how to go about doing this.

    Site-A is completely static, it's just a folder of html and css files (including bootstrap). Each page has the same header and footer copy-pasta'd in and all the text content is hardcoded. This site is being served using Apache.

    Site-B is a dynamic microblog that allows user sign-ups, posting, followers etc. This running via Python from a terminal. I followed a Flask microblog guide. This site uses Jinja templating to deliver the content and uses Flask/python to handle all the logic.

    Now I'd like to take the entirety of the microblog and place it on one of the pages on the static site. Can anyone offer any advice or point me in the direction of resources that might assist.

    Cheers.

    Staying productive when stopping and starting throughout the day?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2017 12:46 PM PST

    Not sure if this is the best place to ask, it's a productivity question but it has to do with webdev. I run a small web development agency (at this point essentially still freelancing) and sometimes clients won't have stuff I need ready to keep going so I have to stop and either take a break or switch to a different project. I am super duper productive if I can put my head down and work on one thing for the day but when I stop and start I get really unfocused and tempted to just quit for the day. How do you stay focused in situations like this?

    Question for WordPress devs

    Posted: 29 Dec 2017 04:45 AM PST

    I've recently started learning wordpress and I'm just wondering, do you prefer to develop the theme from scratch or use a pre built theme? or is there a different way, like a framework or something I am missing. I learnt a bit of wordpress theme development before I dove into pre built themes and I'm finding them really hard to use, they seem really clunky and its a challenge for me to setup a nice looking website that I could bust out in an hour with plain html/css/js.

    Is there a way to make a grid item span to the end of a grid?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2017 04:32 AM PST

    So, if I have x grid items, each with this class:

    .first-row { grid-row: 1 / 2; }

    So I might have 6 items all sitting on the first row of the grid

    but then I add a second item:

    .second-row { grid-row: 2 / 3; }

    It's going to be the only item on this row, is there a way to start at the first column and span as many columns as there are items on the first row?

    So if there were three items on the first row, it would look like this:

    Item 1 Item 2 Item 3
    full-width full-width full-width

    but if I added a fourth item, it would know to span to the end of the 4th column instead of the 3rd, like this:

    Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4
    full-width full-width full-width full-width

    How can I survey open source projects?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2017 11:44 AM PST

    Suppose I want some inspiration for a project (version control software) and don't want to spend a lot of time reinventing the wheel, how can I quickly determine what's already been accomplished and whether it meets my requirements? Currently I'm going off of comparison tables like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_version_control_software

    But sometimes the back end code is open source, but not the front end. So I started looking from this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Python_software#Web_applications

    Which gets me closer, but not quite there... How can I make the best decision on which code base to work with? Dependencies, requirements, and all those finer details are scattered about. Is there a simple way to answer this? Like just counting total lines of code in the project and saying that scales with how hard it will be to understand. How can I know when I'm looking at a code base that is on the fringe of being unmaintainable? I find myself wanting to know all the things an experienced developer would be concerned with, but without having that experience.

    Maybe there's a website that has this information and more?

    edit/tldr; i'm asking generally how to make the best decision when choosing and open source project. more specifically, if you are familiar with the projects, between Allura, Bloodhound, and Kallithea, which is the most active, current, and modular?
